I am falling into the pit
Steve,
Sorry I missed the pull... but sound like you were done before I even was ready to leave Flower Mound
Yea these cars can be a bit expensive... I suffer from the "why not" and "sure it's only another $100" I have so many custom parts in my car it is not even funny...
But if I wanted a cheep convertible roadster I would have a miata

Since everyone is telling their sad tells, let me add mine. Remember the little electrical fire that "Snotty" had in Austin? Well it turns out it wasn't so little and went into my dash. So now, I'm waiting for my new wiring harness will arrive.

Steve,
Get KC to get that engine fixed and bolt it back into the car. Then take it out and hammer it a few times with confidence. That will help get you get over the busted engine blues!!

Jim, what a bummer .. I was so glad to see you in Austin, back together and on the road with the new motor  Just like the rest of us .. nothing easy is ever easy  It's all hard, takes more time, and costs extra
John, is the ERA going to Mid-America? Just got mine back today  Woo Hoooo! Four wheel alignment and ride height done, major bux, the rear end was dog tracking, according to Rob. Long as it doesn't lift it's leg on one of the GT-500's I guess it will be ok ...

Sammy,
Yes I plan to bring the ERA to Tulsa. I hope the job schedule holds up to allow for it....kinda touch and go lately.
On your car.....what changed on the ride height.....I didn't see anything wrong with it.

Don't leave yourself off the list. When are you wanting to start tracing down your intermittent short?

I'm in Austin this weekend, but the next weekend I'm here. Does that work for you Joe?

Chris,
You need to move the decimal point to the right.

Ride height and alignment
John, I had the ride height set to the specs .. 5.25" frame to ground front and 5.75" rear. I had it a little high because the right rear was rubbing on the body. Rob thinks that was due to the axle alignment, which he corrected. It wasn't easy .. the center section is in a non-adjustable cage. Ask me more when I see you next.
